Biography
Dr. Olalekan Shobayo obtained his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria. He acquired over 10 years of industrial experience in managing technical professionals, manufacturing engineering processes, diverse facilities maintenance, and project management services in multinational industries. Additionally, he started his graduate program at Mississippi State University (MSU) in 2015. Transferred to and obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma (OU) in 2021.
While at MSU and OU, Dr. Shobayo’s research interests cover a broad range of topics in fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, with a focus on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Fluids Engineering Division (FED), and a reviewer for the ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering. He recently won the OU Dissertation of Excellence Award (DEA) award, and he is also certified as Facilities Management Professional (FMP) and Project Management Professional (PMP).
